At its core, and as its name implies, Seven Songs with Joe3, is a bi-weekly podcast that presents 7 songs from DIY and small-label artists that I think you should hear. That's the premise.
Yes, there are thousands of music podcasts out there, but what sets this one apart is that it’s my humble attempt to give back to the D.I.Y. music community that has given me so much. I don't make any money doing this. In fact, I lose money, but that's okay. I'm more interested in helping bands spread the word about what they're doing.
A Few Things You Should Know
I'm from Buffalo, New York, and that beautiful city is where I cut my musical teeth in the punk/hardcore scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now, I live in the DC-area and have been playing in bands and going to shows here since the mid-1990s. I'm telling you this because each episode of this podcast will likely feature bands from these localities. However, I am keen to expand beyond them and will do my best to include music from other areas/regions. You can help me do that letting me know about bands you think I need to hear.
And hey, if you're in a band, send me an MP3 of your best jam for possible inclusion on a future episode. Punk, hardcore, metal, alternative ... I'm open to just about anything. Just send your music to this email address, and along with your jam, please include anything else you think I might need to know.
Have a listen!
In addition to listening to episodes on this blog, you can find episodes of the show on SoundCloud. If you like what you hear, please tell a friend. For information on new episodes and other stuff, follow me on Instagram @joe3_smith.
